The NJ Short Term Disability insurance program is mandated for people who work in NJ for Private employers. Government employers are exempt from this mandate.
Most teachers work for a local municipal government, and therefore do not have mandated coverage. Many municipalities and school boards elect to participate. If your school board elected to participate, then you are covered. If not you are out of luck.

The policy may also prescribe a waiting period before benefits are payable, and will provide a maximum duration for benefits.
